Please join us in wishing our little Sam Sam a happy 17th birthday!
She is always such a sweet cat, and we’re so grateful to have her as part of our lives.
17 is fairly old for a cat, so she does have “common older-cat issues”, but she is getting the best health care. We manage her thyroid with medication and keep an eye on her kidneys. With luck, she will be with us for some time to come.
We have another video featuring Pöpö. This time, he explores the studio to the sounds of an 8-bit oscillator prototype. We also see Behringer RD-6 and RD-8 drum machines, a cool little modular, and other bits of music gear.

Felicia enjoys some time next to a “garden keyboard” that has become part of the landscape. A beautiful garden and a beautiful cat.

Identification of the keyboard is left as an exercise to the reader.
Percy relaxes on the sofa while Joel Izquierdo plays the Buchla Music Easel. If I’m not mistaken, that is also Strymon Big Sky pedal next to the Easel.
Here is the same scene of Percy and Joel, but in green.

Pöpö supervises a test of the MICO-S sequencer with a fairly large modular system.
The MICO-S is a homemade sequencer created by Miko (@ramsesjupiter on Instagram)
Major poses with a very impressive MOTM modular system.
He clearly is proud of his vast collection.

Look for more of Major in the coming days.
The lovely Subaru poses with an Eric Synths Syntrx (1st version). The Syntrx, as one might surmise from its appearance, is a recreation of the EMS Synthi.

Fun fact about Subaru: she got her name after being rescued from a neighbor’s Subaru.
Grady has certainly been busy of late. Here we see him with a Dave Smith Instruments (Sequential) Evolver and a Collider delay-and-reverb pedal from Source Audio. These two instruments make a great combination. Grady seems more focused on his cleanliness.

Hamlet, aka Ham/Hammy/Hamster, poses in front of a vintage Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555 and a vintage MCI JH-110 tape recorder with rackmount control units. Hamlet and his human, Charles Whiley, certainly know how to find these old gems.
Here is another photo showing the gear more clearly, and of course, Hamlet’s handsomeness.
Another handsome pose.
I am experimenting with a 7.83 Hz waveform with a deviation of 0.1618 Hz in stereo and my little cat Billie, intrigued, places herself in the middle of the 2 speakers. I love playing Doctor Frankestein, er, Doctor #sebairstein #maxmsp #7,83hz #cats #waveform #iwanttobelieve #soundmedicine

The adorable Billie disrupts a delicate experiment with 7.83 Hz waveforms separated by 0.1618 Hz (a number connected to the golden ratio). From sebairstein.bsky.social on BlueSky.
